EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document sets out the Commission s approach and methodology in relation to the imposition of a Condition in respect of a Licence under the Banking Supervision Law, the Fiduciaries Law, the Insurance Business Law, the IMII Law, the Registered Businesses Law and the POI Law. This Note does not extend to the imposition of Conditions in respect of a Licence: at the time the Licence is granted under the Banking Supervision Law, the Fiduciaries Law, the Insurance Business Law, the IMII Law, the Registered Businesses Law or the POI Law. by agreement between the Commission and the Licensee under the Banking Supervision Law, the Fiduciaries Law, the Insurance Business Law, the IMII Law, the Registered Business Law or the POI Law. where the Conditions are being imposed as a prudential measure, for example to protect depositors. 3. INTRODUCTION The Enforcement Policy provides that the Commission is committed to a fair, proportionate and consistent use of its enforcement powers, to achieve effective outcomes. Where appropriate, the Commission will address contraventions or misconduct by agreement with the person concerned through ordinary supervisory processes, and will endeavour to agree with that person the implementation of a remedial action plan to restore that person to compliance as soon as possible. This may involve agreement to changes in corporate governance, management and internal controls, agreement to discontinue some or all of the person s operations or areas of activity, or agreement to amended or additional Licence Conditions framed to encourage or ensure compliance going forward. However, that approach is not always possible. The Commission will generally seek to use its enforcement powers in relation to more serious or repeated breaches of the law although it would be improper for the Commission to, a priori, rule out enforcement proceedings in relation to any breach. In addition, it may also be appropriate for the Commission to take further steps in the public interest, in particular with a view to protecting the public, through other elements, such as deterring the firm concerned and others who may also be involved. It is important that the Commission is able to fulfill its regulatory objectives and apply its Enforcement Policy. However, the Commission is also aware of the serious detrimental effect that an Administration Order may have on the reputation, livelihood or business of the party concerned. 3 P age
5 The Commission may impose Conditions alone or in addition to any other regulatory sanction which it is empowered to impose under the regulatory Laws, as it determines to be reasonable and appropriate. Such determination will be made on a case by case basis. 4. RELEVANT LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS The Commission has the power, by notice in writing served on a Licensee or a designated manager in respect of a collective investment scheme (as applicable), to impose, vary, rescind or revoke a Condition 1. A person aggrieved by the Commission s decision to impose, vary, rescind or revoke a Condition may appeal to the Court against that decision IMPOSITION OF CONDITION Under the Applicable Laws, the Condition may, by notice in writing served on a Licensee or a designated manager in respect of a collective investment scheme (as applicable), impose such Conditions: as it thinks fit 3, or as appear to the Commission to be necessary or desirable 4. In considering whether or not to impose a Condition the Commission may, without limitation, have regard to any matter to which it may have regard in determining whether or not to grant an application for a Licence or to cancel, revoke or suspend a Licence 5. The Conditions which may be imposed in respect of a Licence may make the provision as to the duration of the Licence 6 and for the protection of: the public 7, 1 The Banking Supervision Law, section 9(1) and (3); the Fiduciaries Law, section 9(1) and (3); the Insurance Business Law, section 12(1) and (3); the IMII Law, section 7(1) and (3); the POI Law, section 5(1) and 9(1); the Registration of Businesses Law, section 8(1) and (3). 2 The Banking Supervision Law, section 18(1) however does not extend to rescinding the Condition; the Fiduciaries Law, section 19(1); the Insurance Business Law, section 63(1); the IMII Law, section 43(1); the POI Law, sections 35(1) and (e) and 36(1) however does not extend to revoking the Condition; the Registration of Businesses Law, section 16(1). 3 The Banking Supervision Law, section 9(1); the Fiduciaries Law, section 9(1); the Insurance Business Law, section 12(1); the IMII Law, section 7(1); the Registration of Businesses Law, section 8(1). 4 The POI Law, section 5(1) and section 9(1). 5 The Banking Supervision Law, section 9(8); the Fiduciaries Law, section 9(8); the Insurance Business Law, section 12(8); the IMII Law section 7(8); the POI Law, section 5(3); the Registration of Businesses Law, section 8(7).

Under the Registered Businesses Law, this is limited to soliciting business, either generally or from particular persons or classes of persons (section 8(4)). 13 This is not specifically provided for under section 8 of the Registered Businesses Law. 14 The Banking Supervision Law, section 9(4)(e) applies to directors, controllers, managers and employees. The Fiduciaries Law, section 9(4)(e) applies to a director, controller, manager, partner or employee.

The POI Law, section 5(2)(d) applies to a direction, controller, manager, partner or employee. In addition each of the Applicable Laws contains general powers to require a Licensee to perform certain actions. This is not specifically provided for under section 8 of the Registered Businesses Law. 5 P age
7 (f) specify requirements to be fulfilled otherwise than by action taken by the Licensee, 15 (g) (h) require the furnishing to the Commission, at such times, intervals and places as may be specified by the Commission, of such information and documents, and of accounts of such description, in such form and containing such information and particulars, as may be specified 16, In respect of collective investment schemes only, prohibit or restrict the promotion of the scheme: i. to the public in the Bailiwick, or ii. from within the Bailiwick to the public in any specified country or territory, or elsewhere than in any specified country or territory. In addition, a number of the Applicable Laws specify further matters which the Conditions may make provision for VARIATION OR REVOCATION OF CONDITION In considering whether or not to vary or rescind any Condition the Commission may, without limitation, have regard to any matter to which it may have regard in determining whether or not to grant an application for a Licence or to cancel, revoke or suspend a Licence THE COMMISSION S APPROACH Apart from the matters referred to in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 above, the Applicable Laws do not prescribe any criteria that the Commission must take into consideration in determining whether to impose a Condition. It is not possible nor would it be appropriate for the Commission to try and produce a definitive list of matters that the Commission might take into account. The Commission will consider in each case whether the imposition of a Condition is consistent with the Commission s Enforcement Policy and consistent with the Commission s functions. In considering whether to impose a Condition, the Commission will take into account all relevant circumstances including the seriousness of any contravention or misconduct. 15 This is not specifically provided for under sections 5 or 9 of the POI Law or under section 8 of the Registered Businesses Law. 16 This is not specifically provided for under sections 5 or 9 of the POI Law or under section 8 of the Registered Businesses Law. 17 The Fiduciaries Law, section 9(4)(h) and (i); the Insurance Business Law, section 12(4)(h) (n); the IMII Law, section 7(4)(h) (l); the POI Law, section 52 and (e). 18 The Banking Supervision Law, section 9(8); the Fiduciaries Law, section 9(8); the Insurance Business Law, section 12(8); the IMII Law, section 7(8); the POI Law, section 5(3); the Registration of Businesses Law, section 8(7). However, the POI Law does not specify any matters to which the Commission may regard in determining whether or not to impose, vary or revoke a Condition on authorisations or registration of collective investment schemes under section 9. 6 P age
8 6. CONSEQUENCES OF CONDITION REVOCATION OR EXPIRATION In some circumstances, the imposition of a Condition is a regulatory sanction that is applied as a result of regulatory non-compliance. The expiration or revocation of a Condition will not expunge the Condition from the person s regulatory history with the Commission. The Commission reserves its right, should it determine it reasonable to do so, to take the original Condition into account should regulatory concerns arise in the future. 7. PUBLICATION The Banking Supervision Law and the Fiduciaries Law The Commission maintains lists of all persons who are Licenced under the Banking Supervision Law, the Fiduciaries Law and the POI Law. The Commission is able to include in the list such information in respect of any or all of the persons named therein as the Commission may think desirable or expedient 19. This may include reference to Conditions imposed upon a Licence. In deciding whether or not to publish information in relation to a Condition, the Commission may have regard to: the interests of the public the reputation of the Bailiwick as a financial centre. Publication, by amendment of the list, will take place upon the imposition of the Condition. The Insurance Business Law, the IMII Law and the Registered Businesses Law The Commission may, inter alia, give public notice of the imposition of a Condition 20. In deciding whether or not to do so, the Commission shall have regard to: the interests of the public 21, the interests of policyholders and potential policyholders 22, the Clients 23, and (d) the reputation of the Bailiwick as a finance centre The Banking Supervision Law, section 13(1) and (5); the Fiduciaries Law, section 13(1) and (5); the Insurance Business Law, section 17(1) and (2); the IMII Law, section 12(1) and (2); the Registered Business Law, section 12(1) and (2). 20 The Banking Supervision Law, section 13(1) and (5); the Fiduciaries Law, section 13(1) and (5); the Insurance Business Law, section 17(1) and (2); the IMII Law, section 7(9); the Registered Business Law, section 8(8). 21 The Insurance Business Law, section 12(9); the IMII Law, section 7(9); the Registered Business Law, section 8(8). 22 The Insurance Business Law, section 12(9); the IMII Law, section 7(9). 23 The IMII Law, section 7(9). 24 The Registered Businesses Law, section 8(8) also extends to the protection and enhancement of the reputation of the Bailiwick as a financial centre. 7 P age
